Derek was my happy place when I lived in Idaho. Party at Derek’s! What a good heart. I will always remember him fondly, I will think of him when I see a beautiful canyon scene, and I will truly miss him.

I am truly so sorry to hear of Derek’s passing, as he was one of the rarest, most lovely people - even from such a young age g age. I count my blessings to have known him & spent time enjoying tubing, searching for crawfish at Glenmere, playing dodgeball, soccer, swimming, and also doing not much at all. I have, and always will, carry his memory dearly in my heart. - Staci Wilkes

I am so sorry to learn of Derek’s passing. He was a dear childhood friend of mine. So many memories of hours spent watching for birds, hunting for crawfish, fishing, hunting and shooting. Every boy’s childhood needs a friendship like Derek and I shared. My sympathies go out to his family and friends.

My Sweet Derek,

You were born on your Grandfather Farr's 70th birthday. The name Derek came from Derek Sanderson, a hockey player, your Dad loved hockey. We gave you the middle name of James after James (Jim) Fyffe, who introduced me to your Dad. I member the first time Jim saw you, you were about one month old, he was so proud and was beaming like a new dad himself.

You were a joy to be around when you were growing up, you had a wonderful smile and a great sense of humor. I always would ask you and Ryan when you were leaving if you had your coats, after a while when I would ask, you both would say we love you too Mom.

I love you so much, not sure I will ever get over not seeing you and hearing your voice saying, Hi Ma.

Mom

Derek, the day before you died you penned a note to me that memorializes your complex character of empathy, curiosity and humor. I believe your sweet soul is free of distress, resting in peace among the caring souls of passed family and friends. Love, your Dad always.
